Doug,
Hey, good idea! Only problem is I still don't know how that fish managed to get the fly in it's mouth. :D
To add even more perspective to this picture, that is my 12 year old son's finger (his hands are a lot smaller than mine).

An island between Nipigon Bay and Lake Superior where the big coasters roam (and a few bears).

Jeff,
That one picture of your son squatted down on a rock looking away from you is one very beautiful picture and I sure hope you get an enlargement of it made and have it framed! I really liked that picture! Nice job on all the pictures!
Re: Any good pics of where you've been fishing?
Fly-Line,
The crappie - north or south of the Hudson Bridge? My buddy in St. Mary's fishes for crappies b/w the bridge and Stillwater, although on our joint trips the crappies are merely fantasy. On the ice but not from our canoe. JGW

JGW,
You could say right down town Bayport is where I was when I caught that one. We caught over 30 crappies that day over 11". The one in the photo is 12".
The train bridge at the north side of the no-wake zone is good also.

Thanks. That photo was taken over Labor Day weekend. My son and I had been fishing all day on the Little River up by Treemont in the Smokey Mountains. There were hundreds of those blue and black butterflies (I think they are black swallowtails but not sure) fluttering around everywhere. As we were walking on a trail to get to the section of stream we were fishing, they were like falling leaves in the fall. We walked through a cloud of them. Daniel had 3 or 4 sitting on his hat, and a couple landed on his fly rod. It was kind of a special time and special thing.
Well, after a few hours of fishing we came to the pool in the picture. We worked it pretty good and each of us caught a few decent rainbows there. The entire time, a cluster of butterflies were on that big rock. Once we had pretty well exhausted the pool, Daniel asked if it was OK to cross the water and look at the butterflies.
I took the photo as he was sitting there completely absorbed in trying to figure out what they were eating and why they didn't fly away when he squatted down. He had absolutely no idea I was taking his picture. In fact, he was so intrigued by the butterflies and so caught in the moment, I don't think he even realized I was still there.
Yes, I have that photo hanging on the wall of my office cubicle and I'm looking at it (as well as another of him in action casting) as I type this message.
In my life, I've fished in a lot of beautiful places and caught more than my fair share of fish, but fishing with my son and seeing the lakes, streams, and fish through his eyes has brought even familiar old places to a fresh new perspective for me.
Taking my son fishing is just as rewarding for me as it is for him. The only problem is he's a "teenager" now and between soccer, playing with his buddies, homework, and the "teenage thing", finding when he has time to fish with me is getting more difficult. I suppose that's just a part of growing up, but the good news is he does still find time to fish with me and we get to talk on a very different level while we're fishing than when we're at home. Hard to explain, but it's more of a man-to-man discussion than adult-to-child one.

Re: Any good pics of where you've been fishing?
Jeff,
It all came to a halt after Joe turned 17. Too many distractions. He is almost 25 and we finally got together and went fishing. I can control my feelings basically but with Joe I turn to pouting, feeling sorry for myself, missing him. When he was a little boy, Joe was a little doll and a fascination to me. Here is this cute kid calling me "Daddy" It was the single most important word I've ever heard.
